General Information
I believe all symptoms have meaning, so I help individuals explore what their emotions are telling them about the areas in their lives that need attention and change. I often work with client's dreams as another approach to gaining insight. I have been a Hospice Volunteer since 1997, primarily w/adults. On a personal note, I have a daughter. I enjoy quilting, creating mosaic art, dream work, reading, walking, gardening.
